from Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the comments about Flanders - I asked for (and got) a book on

by Catherine Maze?, from Editions Dider Carpentier), but haven't started any

I just tonight saw the photo of your piece Lavendar's Blue in the Arachne
webshots album. That is a really pretty piece. Such an interesting idea.

Once upon a time, I signed up for a Flanders/ Binche class with Anny
Noben-Slegers. Lacking any preparation for either class, I imagined I would
be exploring Flanders. I had a conversation with Anny that didn't seem that
spectacular to me and she decided I should just try the Binche. So I did.

Hi Beth...
The main reason that teachers start you with Flanders is that the ground
work is very different. I think that if you work a piece with the
typical Flanders ground, and you can get to the point that the ground is
something you can do without giving it much thought, it is perfectly
Good morning, gentle spiders...
I hope that she won't mind my telling the world, but I thought many of
you would want to know that Anny Noben-Slegers is having eye surgery on
December 8. She is hoping she will be able to see well enough to make
lace again when it is over.
So... let's all
Let's also think positive thoughts (and to some of us, that means prayer as
well) for Anny in the days leading up to the surgery as well. I think eye
surgery is one of the most frightening possible surgeries, especially for
lace-makers and beaders whose passion requires use of their eyes. She must
I had both cataracts removed last year, the second 3 months after the
first and drove home after the op. Had to keep my head up for the first
week ie no bending, but after that it was back to lace with my new
glasses. Good luck Anny.

Have you got webbed feet yet Sheila.
It sounds a brilliant operation to have you back to your lace so quickly.

Hi All,
As lots of you know, as well as teaching adults in various classes, and
one-to-one, all over the place, I also teach several groups of young children
- aged from about seven years upwards - on a monthly basis, in their own
homes.
This week, after one of the lessons last Saturday, I
Hi All
I'm automatically CRB checked because of my church duties, but our church
council has also been made aware that there may also be similar checks on
people working with 'vulnerable adults' as well. How you define vulnerable I
don't know, but this may impact people teaching lace to older
I too recall that case Alison and the lady had been CRB cleared!
It proves that the CRB check only clears you to the date of the check
and not more recently! Local authorities looking for school cleaners,
dinner ladies, volunteers to help the children read in class, school

Clicking through the photos on the site below, I saw an old postcard photo of a
lacemaker and it was entitled Lady Lacemaking With Her Bobbins in Runcorn
circa 1880. I was not aware that lacemaking was going on in Cheshire. Does
anyone know about lacemaking in that area? Maybe she was an

I always thought that the reason Flanders is regarded as a necessary
preliminary to Binche is the clothwork, not the ground. Flanders, Binche and
Val all have similar ways of working the cloth parts, largely because of the

Although it no doubt makes me a figure of fun, I use a ghost pillow and
put in a pin, not only at each of the pin holes, but frequently to mark
when individual stitches have been worked. I am working on a piece of Old
Flanders from Ulrike Lohr's class and there is absolutely no way I could
Here is a personal viewpoint.
Don't be afraid to try a different kind of lace. What one person claims is
'hard' goes along just fine for another person. People have been known to not
try something because it's been labeled 'hard' by someone else. Keep an open
mind. You are probably

Your ideas about the ghost pillow or sticking pins into the diagram sounds
like a good one. I should try that and maybe I won't get lost so often. I
